Inspiring and Immersive
Planning your wedding flowers
Choosing your bespoke wedding florist is a big decision in your wedding planning journey - I get that. Over the years, I've worked with couples from all walks of life, clients who absolutely adored flowers to those who simply knew that flowers were a key ingredient of their dream day. My wedding flowers planning process is designed to be both inspiring and fun, to immerse you in the many possibilities and to help you make the right choices to craft a day that's uniquely yours. My mission is to ensure that you reach your wedding day full of joyful anticipation and completely confident that your floral designer totally understands your vision and will execute it flawlessly. Scroll down to find out more about how we work together.
Step one
Exploring your hopes and dreams
Our journey together begins with a complimentary Discovery call on Zoom where we'll explore your hopes and dreams for your wedding day.
I'll listening really carefully and ask lots of questions about what matters to you both, how you want your day to look, and more importantly, the emotions that you want to evoke and experience. Please don't worry if the gentle language of flowers is a mystery to you or the vision for your day is somewhat hazy - nurturing your ideas is what I'm here to help you with, it's my passion.
" All I can say is WOW - we have never felt more listened to!! The way you have included so much thought about the little elements we have discussed."
Step two
Your Look Book and Quotation
Following our call, I'll create a digital presentation known as a Look Book, where I'll play back the initial concepts for your flowers. The ambience and the colour palette, the style of bouquets and buttonholes, the potential plan for the ceremony and reception, together with transparent pricing within your budget. I want the Look Book to be a feast for your heart and soul.
The goal is simple - do I truly understand your vision (however hazy it may be at this stage)? If the answer is a resounding "Yes" and you love what you see, then we're a match ❤️ - you've found your florist.
" From the very start Fi has been exceptional, creating a bespoke proposal based on our (very rough!) ideas and the result was truly extraordinary. She completely captured our vision for the day and it was nothing short of perfect."
Step three
Designing your wedding day
With your date secured in my diary, we make a date for the site visit and detailed consultation, our chance to meet IRL and get to know each other better. We'll meet at your venue(s) and together we'll 'walk the wedding day' from start to finish, imagining how you and your guests will experience each moment.
We'll discuss the perfect combination of vessels and stands for your ceremony as well the styling details for your table-scape. I'll bring a selection of vases and candlesticks, with lots of inspirational samples for you to select from. Every detail considered, the finished look intentionally curated.
This step is so crucial as it enables us to see the features we want to celebrate, the tones and textures to echo, the way the light falls. I take these sensory details back to my studio and develop designs that embrace the setting and the season in your chosen style and palette. If we envision something truly bespoke, I'll create design sketches so you can visual how the final look will come together.
From concept
To creation
" Every step of the way, Fi was just incredible to work with. From the fully detailed proposals, to helping guide the colour scheme, the planning was flawless."
Step four
Delivering dream flowers
Following our site visit and confirmation of your designs, I'll be busy working on the flower recipe and detailed plans for the wedding day. A week to go, we'll have a call to run through the plan and calm any pre-wedding jitters. All the delivery details will be finalised and then my amazing team swings into action. Incredible flowers are delivered into my Cotswold workshop from local flower farms as well as the international market in Holland. Everything is carefully prepared so each bloom is at its absolute best for your day.
We'll be on site early on the day itself and whilst the team are executing my designs, I'll bring your bouquets to the glorious chaos of the bridal prep room. Together we'll take a moment to quietly admire the flowers, each chosen with care, each with its own story. The stems will be wrapped in the softest silk ribbon and I'll coach you and your bridesmaids on hold your bouquets correctly. Next stop is the chaps, and we'll pin on their buttonhole flowers, straighten the odd tie and provide warm words (and hugs!) if required.
Once everything is perfectly placed, we'll leave you to enjoy your magical day before returning the next morning to clear everything away.
Every worry I had just melted away after speaking to you. And can we just take a minute to talk about my bouquet - it was just breathtaking, it was perfect as were all the other florals on the day. Just what I had in mind and I LOVE that you just got that and knew what to do.
